Aetna Insurance for Addiction Treatment

Aetna works with an individual’s needs to find nearby treatment for drug or alcohol addictions. Aetna insurance policies have different options for inpatient and outpatient rehab, as well as other services to help on your path to recovery.

Aetna Insurance

Many insurance policies set a predetermined limit on substance abuse treatment rather than looking at the individual as a whole. Recognizing there are no one-size-fits-all plans for drug and alcohol abuse, Aetna works with an individual’s needs to find an addiction treatment solution.

Aetna Healthcare Addiction Resources

Aetna is committed to patient follow-up with their Continuing Care programs. Members meet weekly and offer support for the “alumni” of various treatment programs. Sometimes social events are organized to celebrate an achievement or recent recovery. The results from programs like these are significant – they keep individuals affiliated in their community with on-going support.

Do Treatment Centers Need to be In-Network?

Even though not all Aetna plans require service providers to be in-network, programs that are out-of-network may cost more. It’s also important to note that programs not in Aetna’s network have not been screened for treatment that is consistent with current standards of practice.

Aetna’s in-network programs are all screened for quality care and adherence to modern principles.

In some cases, pre-certification or authorization of a treatment program will be required. Such cases may include:

Inpatient admissions

Outpatient detoxification

Residential Treatment Center admissions

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Partial Hospitalization Programs

Questions about treatment?

Pre-certification involves a review process to determine whether the requested service or program meets Aetna’s clinical criteria for coverage. Be sure to check with your insurance provider to see if your substance abuse treatment will require pre-certification before you begin the program.

Aetna Coverage for Inpatient Treatment

Inpatient Rehab Service and Costs

For in-network inpatient services, some Aetna plans have 0 percent coinsurance – insurance that kicks in once you pay your full deductible. Other plans may require a copay per admission for different services.

In regards to out-of-network providers, coverage varies based on location and the type of plan. Some plans may not cover any form of treatment that’s out-of-network; however, others have 30 to 50 percent coinsurance. Out-of-network programs frequently require a pre-certification, otherwise there will be a penalty per occurrence. Talk with your provider to determine the type of treatment your policy will cover.
